I knew this day would come

One of my boys finally, (finally!) let me spike their hair for crazy hair day.  I got so excited I even busted out the blow dryer to make it perfect.  I bought some hair gel in case this moment ever arrived. And it came! This is as crazy as we get with hair around here.  My boys are very conservative about the spiky stuff.  Another son was going to participate too, saw what I did to his brother, and opted out.  Hmmm.  Oh well.  Dreams do come true.

Personality Test?

Nathan
 Sam
 Spencer
 Matthew
 
I found the gingerbread house decorating to be fascinating this year.  We so clearly have 2 right brained children, and 2 lefties.  Nathan and Spencer were methodical, very orderly.  Sam and Matthew were throwing caution to the wind, putting candy anywhere their hearts desired. This fits them all so well.  Matthew and Sam are my creative, artistic children.  Nathan and Spencer are much more orderly and precise about how things should be.  I just watched in wonder how these traits seem to pour out into their houses. Afterward I went through and found some pictures of Spencer decorating when he was just two.  He was extremely orderly in his house then too.  Fascinating.
